Would anyone like to user test my website today or tomorrow? I would like to do it in person. I could come to you (or one of your friends) or you could come to 2 Forresters Lane (off Tory Street opposite Bunnings).

I would love to find someone who is not familiar with what we do (fresh eyes). If I could find a homeowner with a CSC card so much the better...

Awesome thanks so much to everyone who turned up tonight. Thanks for the energy, enthusiasm, experience & for sharing feedback. We'd love to hear your questions & further thoughts too - put stuff to [masked] - we'll also be making the canvas template available and writing a bit more about the process on the enspiral blog soon. Cheers!

It is aimed for people who are actively involved in comms in some form. So doers. Sam and Ants will help you look where you have come from, and also help you create a comms plan for next year. So if you have the project and task (communications challenge) around Transitions Towns that sounds great.

Chalkle° redefines what it means to be a teacher or a learner, helping everyone undertake training in practical, artistic or academic skills while fostering lifelong learning.

where do the classes take place? Our classes take place all across Wellington -- from Community Halls to the Train Station! We organize classes based off the interest of chalklers.

when will a class happen? As soon as we have a minimum number of people interested in a class, we get in touch with the teacher and arrange when they can next teach. So make sure you let us know which classes you would like to see happen by filling in the survey we send you when you join, so we can get busy organizing a time and a place for them!
